In an interview with MTV UK’s Chaiming In<\/a>, Sethu called criticism of Belinda’s exit storyline “unfair” and also addressed whether she could return to the TARDIS at any point in the show’s future.<\/p>\n

“I would love to go back if they’ll have me back but it’s all wrapped up for now,” said Sethu to interviewer Shini Muthukrishnan. “Russell left it as was, ‘The door’s always open’.”<\/p>\n

We left Belinda living happily with her young daughter, Poppy, who the Doctor ultimately sacrificed himself to restore from Conrad’s deceptive Wish World<\/a> \u2013 so she could conceivably pop up for any additional Earthbound adventures.<\/p>\n

Of course, we don’t yet know what the future of Doctor Who looks like, with the BBC yet to clarify the status of its co-production deal with Disney Plus<\/a>. That said, reports suggest that the show will continue in some form<\/a> with or without the US-based partner.<\/p>\n

Continuing her discussion of the show on Chaiming In, Sethu recalled meeting original Doctor Who companion Carole Ann Ford for an on-camera interview as among her most moving moments during production.<\/p>\n

“As I was having this conversation with her, the history of 60 years just came crashing down on me… To a certain extent, you can push it to the back of your mind that you’re part of this,” she explained.<\/p>\n

“But in that moment, talking to the person that did it for the first time, that went through me completely.”<\/p>\n
